Reviews
These are wonderful! Very easy to make and turned out perfectly golden brown with a great texture, soft, slightly chewy, and with a nice subtle walnut taste. The only things I did differently was omit the orange peel as I did not have, which is used in both the recipe and frosting. I also did not have the orange juice for the frosting, so used just powdered sugar, milk and almond extract for the frosting. I will definitely make these again!
